AOL Time Warner is a megacorporation formed in 2000 by the merger of America Online, the largest internet service provider in the United States and Time Warner, a media conglomerate in traditional paper publishing, film, and television.
The merger was and remains controversial in part due to concerns over monopoly issues (vertical integration). The collapse of the late 1990s tech industry economic bubble has greatly reduced the company's combined worth, and in 2002, the AOL component was considered to be the weakest part of the company.
The following enterprises are, among others, part of AOL Time Warner:
- CNN, a cable news channel
- HBO, a cable movie channel
- TNT, The WB, Cartoon Network, cable channels
- Time Warner Cable, a cable company
- Time Magazine, a weekly news magazine
- People Magazine, a weekly celebrity magazine
- Sports Illustrated, a sports magazine
- MAD magazine, a humour magazine
- Fortune, Money Magazine, business and investing magazines
- Warner Bros., a movie studio
- Atlanta Braves, a baseball team
